Being a TOOL fan yourself, you can probably guess which song did the same thing for me based on my moniker.
Saw them live in concert several times, and there was one show that remains the best. Which included Parabol/Parabola. Cinematography and sound quality was amazing. Gives me chills just typing this.

Tropicanna Kush

GG4 S1, love them, smell like sour diesel with hints of pepper

Very pleased too with the IDGAF’s so far, good stacking, nose is berry/floral/bubblegum

Rhacodactylus · May 24, 2021

(smaller ones in the center and right corner are Mandelbrot’s Royal Kush)

The two remaining Commerce City Kush pheno’s; i’m really digging these! Will require at least one extra week compared to the other pheno’s, in return they give pretty big dense nuggets, strong kush background with floral/citrus hints. And i just love the structure!

The Barn Burner, Carolina Reaper and Cherry Poppins have been flipped yesterday (already removed some males two dans ago), it was about time, veg tent was overcrowded as usual). I kept in veg the three Chronic’s which are females and the Triangle Octane from Seed Junky that i suspect to be a female too, confirmation should come in the next few days

Then i bent defoliated the JTR’s, Straciatella and ERSB, and flipped a Watermelon Zkittlez;
JTR’s

Straciatella

ERSB

New setup for popping seeds; i’m actually happy with the inkbird thermostat bought on amazon. Compared to their hygrostat, it seems pretty accurate and stable. Only problem id the heat mat that may become too small at some point lol.

Take care everyone!

Beautiful work @Rhacodactylus Thank you for sharing. I don't know how I slept on this journal, consider me subbed! I love the training you use to get the most out of each lady.

She sure does @Frimpong! Great vigor, great structure and it reeks at all stages, had to put the cloner inside the veg tent where the carb filter is because of her clones lol

Thanks a lot for stopping by @GthaEnigma! Yes i definitely enjoy those training sessions with bigger plants, it contrasts well with making smaller plants when pheno hunting, I just love to work with different plant sizes.

Well just had a nice 0 female/10 males on the Cherry Poppins lol, good excuse to add new stuffs to play with!

Couple of Commerce City Kush’s ans Black Rainbow’s went down yesterday, all four will be revegged. They could have gone at least an extra week, but i need rooooom! (Or maybe just another bloom tent..)

Thanks buddy! Definitely; #1 is a spicy/citrusy Kush mix, #2 is straight Kush. I was more into the #1 as I love its structure, but #2 caught my attention too now, especially if the taste is on point. Buds are also more dense than #1, which I wasn’t expecting by just looking at the buds. So both pheno’s should yield quite the same at the end, we’ll see!

Ouch, now that's defying the odds! Like what I'm seeing from everything else though!

Rhacodactylus · May 30, 2021

Tbh i double checked every plant as i’ve never had myself this ratio before (at least on min. 10 seeds), made me smiling a bit tho, part of the game^^

Fun begins with one of the Steel Macnolia;

The ERSB is going well and strong too; i think it’s at least as big, if not bigger than the two JTR and the Straciatella, but she was vegged for about one week less then the others;

Rhacodactylus · May 31, 2021

Quick update about the Carolina Reaper; here is the first male I will take clones on, waiting to see what the females look like later in bloom. I wasn’t planning to keep males during this grow but this one caught my attention when I was culling his brothers; he has a nice minty/vanilla rub stem smell, quite sweet and somehow « fresh », only one to smell like this.

I like the structure too. Looking at the females (5), there are three distinct pheno’s; first one is short and bushy (2/5)

Second pheno is tall, big internode spaces with minimum side branching development (jet fuel og leaner I guess?) (2/5)

Third pheno (1/5) seems to be a mix of the other two

So this male looks like a nice mix of both parents! I will have to build a small male tent sooner than planned in order to let him fully bloom, could make F2’s if the right female shows up (will keep an eye on the last one)

High everyone!

Has been a while since I updated this journal, last months have been pretty rough as my wife and I got separated..

So next year I’ll be moving to a new place, in the meantime I’ve decided that my therapy would be buying seeds lol.

I won’t pop too much before moving to the new place (I don’t wanna have 50 mothers to relocate..) so for the last couple of months I’ve been collecting the strains that have caught my attention since I’ve start growing, and there’s still a lot I’m looking to grab.. I’m a happy Seed Junky!

We only live once as they say.. And since I don’t know what’s next after this life.. f*ck let’s pop those seeds while I can!

I’ll start gradually popping the beans once I’ll be settled in the new spot, and finally put in place a male hunting/pollen chucking room, I have all the stuffs laying around to do so, it will be the right time to pull out my fingers and build this.

The girls have been let down a bit to the point where spider mites and PM got into the tents.. I’ve been getting my shit since the beginning of this month and treated all the tents; now everything looks healthy and happy again, so am I. At that point I realize I can’t be thankful enough to have them in my life, 5 minutes with the plants and all the negativity is blown away, replaced by such a powerful feeling of pure joy and kind of fulfillment, i don’t know it’s just like you know that you are at the place.. this is a true good vibe.

Good to be back on track, thanks guys for keeping this place with great content and positive thoughts! Makes me want to learn and share again, best motivation I could find!!

Let’s get into it; some random shots of what has been chopped since the last update;
